Your Loss

A few years ago, I met you.
Your hair was long then,
you said you were new.
Tried my best to make you laugh,
didn't know about your past
or what you'd been through
I had no intention of writin' a sad song,
but I guess I'll just sing along,
and see it through.
Didn't think at first- Well what could go wrong?
Didn't take me all that long... to catch on to you.
Well we, we became the best of friends,
spent every moment, just you and me.
And we, we hit a few rough spots,
but we always patched them up
even though you burned me, third degree.
I had no intention of writin' a sad song,
but I guess I'll just sing along,
and see it through.
Didn't think at first- Well what could go wrong?
Didn't take me all that long... to catch on to you.
Then one day,
you turned your back on me.
I still can't believe,
what a fool I was.
Then you, you made me choose....
there was no way I couldn't lose.
You don't want me?
That's your loss.
Now I think about it, it's not a sad song.
So I guess I'll just say so long,
I don't need you.
All I can say is that it's for the best,
so give it a rest,
you and I are through!

Well I'm leaving, movin away
Gotta get going, get out of this place
Baby don't worry, I'll be okay.
Just gotta get away.
Somewhere warm and someplace bright,
with a cool breeze, everything's alright.
That's why I'm leaving, movin away
to California
Where the waves roll in from the tide,
and the air is clear, nothing but sunny skies.
That's why I'm leaving, movin away
to California
It's not that I wanna leave home
I just gotta get some ground beneath my feet.
Somewhere to go
Maybe some sand between my toes
Oh I'm leaving, movin away
Gotta get going
Get out of this place
Baby don't worry, I'll be okay
Just gotta get away.

More Than Sound

Once upon a time,
As most stories go,
People meant what they said and what they sang.
But times are different now,
That was long ago,
But that doesn't mean we can't bring it back to the way it was.
There's a lot of sad songs in life,
We gotta take em and make em better.
Just roll with the changes,
speak your heart, sing about what matters to you.
Well have you ever heard the sound of silence?
Seen the answer blowin in the wind?
Did you really give peace a chance?
Or did you just give in?
We may not remember the day the music died,
But we've all been there before,
We've all felt pain, we've had to cry.
Well when you hear a melody, it should have you feelin alright.
It shouldn't just be words,
The music should cast a kind of light on you.
Well have you ever heard the sound of silence?
Seen the answer blowin in the wind?
Did you really give peace a chance?
Or did you just give in?
We have to finish what was started.
The missing is not missing, it's departed.
What's lost can be found,
And music can mean more than just sound.

Artificial Love

I'm not the kind of girl who falls for these tricks.
I'm not just a girl with a pretty face and lips.
Well you don't love, love me do,
Or please, please me.
So I'm asking you to just let me be.
Well I'm tired of waiting buy the phone all night.
Every time I cry, try as I might,
I'm still thinking of you and the way you made me smile.
Would it have killed you
to call once in a while?
But that's alright the sun's still shinning ahead.
Even though you broke my heart, it's not like I'm dead.
I'll find another guy much better than you.
And he'll appreciate me and all the things I do.
But I've had enough of your artificial love.
Cus I'm not the kind of girl who'd write a song about you.
Not everything I do has to do with you.
This is just my way of movin' on.
There is no way I'd write you a song.

Hold On For Me

It's hard seeing you with her,
When I feel I should be in her place.
It ain't easy trying to make you see
These tears that are fallin' down my face.
There's nothin I can do,
that girl's all over you.
There's nothin to make you see me.
Well baby hold on, baby hold on, hold on for me X2
It's bad enough you don't notice me
when I'm giving you all I can.
You're wondering what you're looking for,
well baby here I am.
Here I am.
Now I know we'd make a perfect pair.
You and I go hand in hand.
Well they tell me that I should let you go,
But I just don't think that I can.
There's nothin I can do,
I can't get over you.
There's nothing I can do.
You're too good for me.
Well baby hold on, baby hold on, hold on for me X2
It's bad enough that you're over me
when I'm struggling to move on.
I'm doing my best to forget about you,
But baby I'm not that strong.
I'm not that strong.
At this point I don't really know what I'm trying for.
All I know is when I see you with her, I can't help but feel you deserve more.
Some day, I will show you that I can be something worth fighting for.
Well baby hold on, baby hold on, hold on for me X2
Baby hold on for me X2
Baby please wait for me.
Baby please notice me.
Baby hold on, baby hold on, hold on for me.

Still You

I see you standing your back turned to me.
Got butterflies but it's too soon to see,
If you can see my face behind my blush.
I want you now, but hey what's the rush?
I know the girls you like and what you want.
And I know I don't have much to flaunt.
No matter what I do, you're oblivious.
Just setting myself up, to be crushed.
Well I never thought that I'd be the one to ask you.
And I never thought that I'd be the one to break it off, it's true.
But after all this time, I can't believe you're so blind,
that it's still you.
It's still you.
My heart is beating fast, I can hardly move.
All I can think is "what have I got to lose?"
I'm starting to wonder if I should just give up.
Who knew love could be this tough?
Well I never thought that I'd be the one to ask you.
And I never thought that I'd be the one to break it off, it's true.
But after all this time, I can't believe you're so blind,
that it's still you.
It's still you.
I'm falling quickly,
I'm going under,
Never really felt like this before.
We've been at this a while,
and I'm starting to wonder
If we'll ever be something more.
After all this time,
I can't believe I've been so blind,
That it's still you
And you want me too.

The first time I knew you loved me,
it was all I could do,
to hide my blush and suppress my laughter,
Cus I knew I belonged to you.
Never thought this could happen.
At least not to someone like me.
But you saw something inside of me,
You found the part of me I could never see.
Now I know how it feels
to be lost in the rain on a clear and sunny day.
And now I know the price you pay to be in love,
is heart break.
It's clear now that you've changed.
Not sure why I thought it could ever be the same.
And even though
the scars you left on me aren't bleeding anymore,
They sure as hell are sore.
And I wish you knew how it felt
to be lost in the rain on a clear and sunny day.
And I wish you knew the price I paid to be in love.
I wish you felt heart break.
But we just had to grow older.
We just had to get wiser.
We just had to realize that maybe we don't belong together.
And I just had to be patient.
And you just had to give in,
to the ones who would tell you there's no way we would last
forever.
I wish love could last forever.
Now I know how it feels
to be lost in the rain on a clear and sunny day.
And now I know the price you pay to be in love,
is heart break.
I wish you knew how it felt to be lost in the rain.
I wish you knew the price I paid to be in love.
I wish you knew what it was like to be in love.
I want you to know, even if you weren't,
I was in love.
